I don't know why I did the things I did
I don't know why I said the things I said
Pride's like a knife, it can cut deep inside
Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes
I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry
But baby

CHORUS
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that have hurt you
And you'd stay
If I could reach the stars
I'd give them all to you
Then you'd love me, love me
Like you used to do
If I could turn back

My world was shattered, I was torn apart
Like somebody took a knife
And drove it deep in my heart
When you walked out that door
I swore that I didn't care
But I lost every thing darling then and there
Too strong to tell you I was sorry
Too proud to tell you I was wrong
I know that I was blind, and darling

Alot of Tracy Chapman songs speak to me, but in my opinion, this is one of her most beautiful.

The Promise

If you wait for me then I?ll come for you
Although I?ve traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart
If you think of me, if you miss me once in awhile
Then I?ll return to you
I?ll return and fill that space in your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I?ll find my way back to you
If you?ll be waiting
If you dream of me like I dream of you
In a place that?s warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I?ll find my way back to you
If you?ll be waiting
I?ve longed for you and I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I?ll find my way back to you
If you?ll be waiting
I?ve longed for you and I have desired
To see your face, your smile
To be with you wherever you are

Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise if it?s one that you can keep, I vow to come for you
If you wait for me
and say you?ll hold
A place for me in your heart.

hey lov2laugh that Gary Alan song is good. it was originally done by an awesome rock band called Vertical Horizon. I like the original over the country one just because it was a CD i played over and over in high school and i just loved those guys.

I love this song. "She didn't have time" by Terri Clark. This is me. Ex left and I haven't had time to date until now.

He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
like she'd been some casual friend
he said "your better off with out me
i'm not what you need"
like her momma had said about him
he started the car
pulled out of the drive
didn't waste any time lookin' back
she watched him go
thinkin' even a stranger
would show more compassion than that

she could've cried but she didn't have time
she had a baby to feed
a pink blanket to find
to rock their little one to sleep
she could've laid in bed for hours
giving misery the power
but she didn't have time

she got a sitter, she got a job
'cause she had a promise to keep
her day was a factory and evening survival
at night was exhaustion and sleep
sometimes she felt life was passing her by
and watching was all she could do
her friends said "you gotta get outta the house
and maybe you'll meet someone new"

she could've tried
but she didn't have time
she had a five year old to feed
she had ballet class, piano lessons
and t-ball little league
she could've laid awake for hours
giving lonely nights the power
but she didn't have the time

not time where would she find the time
to trust a man again
not time for that flat tire
a crowded parking lot and then
not time to just have coffee with the man
who got her tired fixed
she was thinking gosh he's handsome
when he asked do you have kids

she could've lied
but she didnt have time
all she said was "she's five"
he said "i saw the car seat I love kids
does she have your eyes?"
and they sat and talked for hours
giving destiny it's power
she could've been afraid
to fall in love that night
but she didn't have time

she could've been afraid
to fall in love that night
but she didn't have time

When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained But darlin' when I hold you Don't you know I feel the same 'Cause nothin' lasts forever And we both know hearts can change And it's hard to hold a candle In the cold November rain We've been through this such a long long time Just tryin' to kill the pain But lovers always come and lovers always go An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today Walking away If we could take the time to lay it on the line I could rest my head Just knowin' that you were mine All mine So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain Or I'll just end up walkin' In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own Do you need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone I know it's hard to keep an open heart When even friends seem out to harm you But if you could heal a broken heart Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my own Sometimes I need some time...all alone Everybody needs some time...on their own Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh I know that you can love me When there's no one left to blame So never mind the darkness We still can find a way 'Cause nothin' lasts forever Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody Don't ya think that you need someone Everybody needs somebody You're not the only one You're not the only one

november rain guns 'n' roses

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Is anybody out there Does anybody see That when the lights are off something's killing me I know it seems like people care Cause they're always around me But when the day is done and everybody runs

Who will be the one to save me from myself Who will be the one who's there And not ashamed to see me crawl Who's gonna catch me when I fall

When the show is over And it's empty everywhere It's hard to face going back alone So I walk around the city Anything, anything to clear my head I've got nowhere to go nowhere but home

Who will be the one who's there And not ashamed to see me crawl Who's gonna catch me when I fall It may seem I have everything But everything means nothing When the ride that you've been on That you're coming off Leaves you feeling lost

Is anybody out there Does anybody see That sometimes loneliness is just a part of me

Catch Me When I Fall - Ashlee Simpson

Is anybody out there
Does anybody see
That when the lights are off
something's killing me
I know it seems like people care
Cause they're always around me
But when the day is done and everybody runs

Who will be the one to save me from myself
Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who's gonna catch me when I fall

When the show is over
And it's empty everywhere
It's hard to face going back alone
So I walk around the city
Anything, anything to clear my head
I've got nowhere to go nowhere but home

Who will be the one who's there
And not ashamed to see me crawl
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
It may seem I have everything
But everything means nothing
When the ride that you've been on
That you're coming off
Leaves you feeling lost

Is anybody out there
Does anybody see
That sometimes loneliness is just a part of me

The song that always makes me want to have a sob is one by Dr Hook, called I cant touch the sun.

I can't touch the clouds for you, I never reached the sun for you. I've never done the things that you need done for you. I stretched out high as i can reach, I guess im not the one for you. Cause I can't touch the clouds or reach the sun for you No i can't reach the clouds or touch the sun.

I can't turn back time for you, and make your sweet 16 again. I can't turn your barren fields to green again And I won't sit around and talk of how things might have been again.

No i can't turn back time and make you young again. I can't turn back time and make you young.

I hope youfind somebody who can do the things i didn't do and find the road i didnt find and build a brighter world for u I hope you find somebody bold enough to reach a take and roll And guide your every change in mind and free your ever rising soul But i can't.. no no i can't..

I can't look inside your mind and see the things you're hoping for. And i can't help you chase the dream you're groping for You say your arms are open wide but lord knows who they're open for. No i can't know your mind or chase your dreams with you i cant chase your dreams or know your mind so say goodbye and dont look back. I've had some happy days with you sorry i cant be the one who stays with you and when they ask about me, you can say I was the one with you. Who never touched the clouds or reached the sun with you.

No i can't reach the clouds or touch the sun. I guess its done I can't touch the sun for you i cant touch the sun no i cant.. no i cant.. ohh no.. i cant touch the sun no no no uuu.. uu... i can't..

Jack...I so love that James Blunt Album too..

The song that hits home for me and really makes me want to cry is a new one by Gary Alan... It just reminds me of "the one who got away". I wonder if what they say is true... "if you love him set him free, if he comes back it was meant to be"??

So you sailed away Into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay Love can be so boring

Nothing's quite the same now I just say your name now

But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't want me back You're just the best I ever had

So you stole my world Now I'm just a phony Remembering the girl Leaves me down and lonely

Send it in a letter Make yourself feel better

But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had You don't need me back You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to Patch me up inside But I can't take it so I Run away and hide And I may find in time that You were always right You're always right

So you sailed away Into a grey sky morning Now I'm here to stay Love can be so boring

What was it you wanted Could it be I'm haunted

But it's not so bad You're only the best I ever had

So you sailed away

But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had

Remembering the girl
Leaves me down and lonely

You don't need me back
You're just the best I ever had

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can't take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You're always right

So you sailed away
Into a grey sky morning
Now I'm here to stay
Love can be so boring
